New diesels have clean tail pipes?

I saw a newer maxi this weekend and I was amazed to see a completely clean pipe. No soot at all.

Sounds like the DPF is working properly then,hanging out on the 6.4L forum, if the tailpipe is sooty then the DPF is not working as it should,that's the way I understand it anyway.
